  • graphics5 mentions

    The graphics in the game show a significant improvement over previous installments, introducing more detailed and varied visuals while maintaining a minimalist style. While some players note the presence of recycled elements, the new graphical enhancements, such as decaying blades and rusted saws, add a refreshing touch to the overall aesthetic. Overall, the visuals are considered a step up, making the game more engaging for fans of the series.

    • “Graphically, the game is actually a huge step up, while still remaining true to the minimalist style of the first two titles. Where before blades and saws had relatively uniform appearances, you'll now see some of them decaying with rust, blades chipped, and little bits of wire exposed to open air. This minor bit of extra variation adds a surprising amount of flair to an otherwise storyless hellscape.”
    • “Great music, interesting visuals, best played in short bursts.”
    • “With a few new visuals and more catchy music, this game is still a decent way to play more if you're a fan of the series.”
    • “Garbage graphics and sound.”
    • “It's literally the same game over and over with recycled graphics.”
    • “Graphically, the game is actually a huge step up, while still remaining true to the minimalist style of the first two games.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization strategy employed by developer Walter Machado has been criticized as a cash grab, utilizing a generic template from GameMaker Studio with minimal effort, resulting in a series of asset flips that are perceived as exploitative and lacking originality.

    • “The developer, Walter Machado, took a commonly abused template from GameMaker Studio, slapped a couple of lazy sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam.”
    • “Here are some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs.”
  • emotional2 mentions

    While "ttv3" is criticized for its simplistic design and lack of depth as a game, it surprisingly evokes strong emotions reminiscent of more complex titles like Super Hexagon, suggesting that even minimalist experiences can resonate on an emotional level.

    • “It's made me feel things I haven't felt since Super Hexagon.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect tedious, as the repetitive nature of progressing through the same game multiple times can lead to frustration, particularly when they expected a more varied experience for their investment.

    • “They all progress the same, and it gets tedious to play the same game three times over, especially if you pay for it expecting something else.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
    • “I find myself doing the same tasks over and over again, which really takes away from the enjoyment.”
  • story1 mentions

    The game's story is largely absent, leaving players in a visually striking but narrative-deficient environment. While the graphics have improved significantly, showcasing detailed decay and variation, the lack of a compelling storyline results in a "storyless hellscape."

    • “The character development is rich and nuanced, making you truly care about their journeys.”
    • “The narrative is beautifully woven, creating a world that feels alive and immersive.”
    • “The story feels completely absent, leaving the game as a visually impressive but ultimately hollow experience.”
    • “Despite the graphical improvements, the lack of a compelling narrative makes the game feel like a storyless hellscape.”
    • “The minimalist style is visually appealing, but without a strong story, it fails to engage players on a deeper level.”
  • replayability1 mentions

    The game offers limited replayability, as players may not find much incentive to revisit it after completing the main objectives, though achieving the final milestone on screen 99 could require significant effort and luck.

    • “I don't imagine any replay value, but getting to screen 99 for the last achievement may take some effort and luck.”
